Postseason bound.
The Boston Bruins clinched their sixth consecutive playoff trip after taking down the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1, Saturday afternoon at the TD Garden.
“We have a standard here, right?” head coach Bruce Cassidy said after the Bruins snapped their first three-game skid of the 2021-22 season. “So we’re not going to go out and celebrate that we made the playoffs, but it’s still an accomplishment you should be proud of.”
The Bruins went to work quickly as a returning Trent Frederic, a game removed from sitting as a healthy scratch against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, put the team ahead 1-0 a mere 49 seconds in.
